I'm in Phoenix this week. I wanted to use Waymo. They only allow credit cards with a 6 digit zip, so if you're visiting from another country you're not able to use the service.

That doesn't seem fair. If you produced something and everyone watched it and disliked it... well a) why did they watch it then and b) they won't watch your next thing... Or they will because they disapprove but cannot help themse

I'm well aware that Western media aren't necessarily reporting the ground truth about that war. But it's an interesting one in that there's so much camera footage, mostly from Ukrainians, but also from Russian soldiers w

I followed that news story at the time. There was plenty of speculation in the media, but the facts were laid out - there was a lab in the city, they were studying these types of viruses, that type of virus was also present in local wildlif

It's news that's untrue and made up, rather than mistaken reporting. I know we can never know real truth in all circumstances, and there'll always be situations of vagueness and ambiguity. But there's still the things th

This misses a lot of nuance. The decisions are yes/no on regret and an extremely short reason. These aren't going to help others make reasoned decisions about things. You can't really help with that anyway, because you'r

How should they split the money then? By time seems the fairest way. How else should they judge the quality? That music video you mentioned is likely to get more views so more money overall. But if the gamer stream is getting more views and

Genocide as a legal term isn't just reserved for killing the entire population. Destroying the culture of a population is also genocide, and there is a greater argument that has happened given how much of Gaza has been levelled. The fo

Studying a politically sensitive issue should not expose a person to harassment. Politicians, governments and organisations need these issues analysed. Of course, too often politicians, governments and organisations don't like the outc

Windows 9 was their best effort. Minimal interface, it really got out of your way.

I got the Kobo colour libra. I'm really enjoying it. I had a kindle and I really hated on it. It felt so laggy, I never got used to the touch vs buttons. I've got a big library of kindle books but I mostly read new books so it was

I know your reply will be something along the lines of "shouldn't need to do this" but if you're constantly annoyed by the animations there's a terminal command to change the setting so they run very fast or not at

I've never been that fond of SO, but I find chatgpt very useful. SO tends to be simpler one time questions. My interactions with gpt are conversations working towards a solution. LLMs totally have a beginner problem. It's much lik

We got ours installed into the attic space with ducts. I guess this is easier with a single level house that didn't have any existing thing in place. It's a Daikin system. I think the ceiling ducts are pretty ugly but way nicer th

Expat Brit here. I'm not fond of old blighty, but this is nonsense. There's plenty wrong in the UK, but it's not an oppressive state.

There are a few Airbnb places around where I live and they aren't a problem - just not the kind of town people come to to party. When I'm by myself I prefer a hotel. Much more convenient. Usually cheaper unless you take a room wit
